Overview

"23% (119 EJ) of the world’s total energy consumption originates from tribological contacts. Of that 20% (103 EJ) is used to overcome friction and 3% (16 EJ) is used to remanufacture worn parts and spare equipment due to wear and wear-related failures." - Holmberg, K & Erdermir, A. (2017). Lubricants are often viewed as an afterthought in the commercial sector, when they are in fact an essential part of how we tackle maintenance, reliability and energy efficiency. Here at Lubrication Explained we help companies better understand how lubricants can help their business by increasing uptime, reduce failures, and minimize environmental footprint.
